The Best Restaurants On Long Beach Island - Jersey Shore - The Infatuation

"Clemmy’s, tucked into a stripmall in Waretown, opened in 2023. But the intimate BYOB feels like it’s always been part of this beachside community. The warm and attentive staff welcomes you into a dining room filled with flowers and regulars—couples on date night, young families with babies—who spill in promptly at 4pm when the restaurant opens. Every dish on the concise seasonal American menu is creative and well-executed, but not overly fussy. You might find things like a bright scallop crudo with bits of orange and chili crisp, a peppery Old Bay bucatini flecked with crab, or juicy roasted chicken on a pool of herby green tahini. For dessert, try the signature orange cake, a little crunchy from the dusting of sugar and served with a scoop of housemade gelato. Clemmy’s doesn’t take reservations, so arrive early or plan to wait for a table with the rest of the town." - alison kessler, regan stephens, matt tervooren, tonya russell
